at its recent meeting adopted the following
relative to the death of one of our former
esteemed physicians " Whereas, We have
received the sad intelligence of the demise
OF our former esteemed co-laborer, G. n.
Brigham, Md. and, Whereas, He was one
of the pioneers of homeopathy in Vermont,
! having begun his practice in 1850 and dwelt
and worked hard among us in the interests
and advancement of his much-loved profess
| sion until 1915, and was one of the fathers
and active supporters of our State Medical
! Society; and, Whereas, We feel deeply his
! loss to ourselves particularly and homeop-
athy generally, as his active and intelligent
! brain and pen and means were used in de.
| fence, sustaining or promulgatng the teach.
| ings of Hahnemann, in which he was thor
oughly grounded in the faith; therefore
Resolved, That we extend our most hearty
